Liberal Unionists Alarmed.

LONDON, Aug. A private confer
ence of Liberal Unionists was held to-
day for the purpose of discussing means
for checking the GladStOnian reaction.
The speakers agreed in attributing their
defeats partly to the enthusiasm and
energy of the Home Rulers in assisting
the GladstonIan candidates. and partly
to the want of unity on the part of Lib
eral UnionistS and Conservatives. Mr..

THE CHICAGO BOODLERS.
Arguments of Counsel on Behalf
of the State.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Gen. Stiles began
his argument for the prosecution in the
Doodle case this afternoon, after long
argument by Lawyer Hardy for the de-
fense. Gen. Stiles began by saying that
good many people believed that a con-
spiracy had existed in Cook county for
years, by which the people were de-
frauded, and which had its headquar-
tiers IN the room of the county board.
The conspiracy had been found out and
exposed in part, but probably the whole
story would never be known. So long
their mouths shut nothing but the gen.
eral idea of the scheme could be got at
by the public. Some of their ''pals" at
last peached on their fellow thieves and
the truth came out, to certain degree.
Gen. Stiles read the law on conspiracy
and then turned his attention at some
length to the testimony of the Inform
ers and squealers. He asked the juryif
it were possible that any doubt could
exist in their mind as to the guilt of the
defendants. The evidence showed they
were all in the conspiracy to defraud
the county and there should be no dis
elimination between them, even though
some of them did receive more of the
Doodle than others. Gen. Stiles con-
tinued in fOrcible manner for some
time, and i'll conclusion called upon the
jury to consider well the evidence and
render the only verdict that should be
given,- which was that of guilty. After
Gen. Stiles speech the court adjourned
until tomorrow morning.
